4. Sky High Living: Contemporary High-rise Apartments
There are many books about tall buildings, but few focus exclusively on
residential high-rises. Perhaps this is because they are traditionally not as tall as
commercial high-rises. However, this is no longer the case; not only do many
compare with other high-rise buildings when it comes to height, but a building
designed for living is particularly interesting in that it conveys a sense of the
purpose and function of the building.
A condominium is a type of property
ownership under which an individual owns a
particular unit in a multi-unit development, and
where all unit owners share an undivided
interest as tenants in the common areas such
as hallways, lobbies and community facilities.
5. Condominium ownership is considered a hybrid form of ownership because it
falls outside traditional structures of property ownership. Certain legal and technical
characteristics help define condominium ownership: Individually Owned Unit
In condominium ownership, an individually owned "unit" is an enclosed space
that exists within specified boundaries. The space can also consist of multiple rooms
and the interior walls that divide the rooms in that unit, as well as balconies, patios or
storage areas. Even though the unit is only airspace (and no land), for legal purposes a
condominium unit is still considered to be real estate.

8. MASTER PLAN
H I G H R I S E C O N D O M I N I U M S O U T H C A N T H O C I T Y
There are sufficient
qualified amenities and
services that provide tenants
with an accommodating living
space.
Moreover, there are
pools and walking paths
having lots of trees in the
park, which serves an ideal
place for relaxation and
entertainment.
9. Project Description
The residential component will offer 502 condos with 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms as
well as penthouses. In order to maximise the amount of windows and ensure that each
unit benefits from the natural, the condos will be divided between four towers, two of 25
floors and two of 20 floors. These towers will rest on top of the three-storey commercial
podium that will house a full-service grocery store. The residences will begin at the
garden level (4th floor) and continue to the 20th and 25th floors respectively, ensuring
that every unit enjoys an elevated view.

- Where are you going ?
- Tee hee. I am come back home from school.
- Yeah. It’ s two day since you moved here. Everything is alright, isn’t it?
11. - Tee hee! Yeah, it’ s ok, although it’ s very different
from lived in low rise house.
- You'll soon get accustomed to your new
apartment life
12. Condominiums versus Townhouses
While condominiums and townhouses appear to be very similar, there are
certain legal differences between the two.
A condominium unit owner individually owns only the enclosed space within
the unit. A townhouse unit owner, on the other hand, owns the unit in severalty, the
physical structure and the plot of land on which the unit stands.
The common areas in a condominium development are owned by all unit owners as
tenants in common. Conversely, the common areas of a townhouse development are
owned by a homeowners' association.
14. PLAN OF BASEMENT 2
- This ‘s plan of the second basement.
- Yeah. This is place for garage, storages and teachnical areas.

The towers will rest on top of the three-storey
commercial podium that will house a full-service
grocery store. The residences will begin at the
garden level (4th floor) and continue to the 20th and
25th floors respectively, ensuring that every unit
enjoys an elevated view.
16. Common Areas
All other parts of the property are called the "common areas“. The ownership
of these areas is shared by all of the unit owners. The common areas include:
• All parts of the building other than units, including the basement, ceilings,
elevators, floors, foundation, halls, lobbies, roof, etc;
• All installations for central services, including heating and air conditioning,
electricity, gas and water;
• The land on which the building stands and the parking areas;
• Community facilities, such as boat docks, clubhouses, gardens, playgrounds,
tennis courts and swimming pools.
21. DISTINCT ARCHITECTURE
The project will present architecture that harmonizes with the local urban
landscape while expressing its own distinct and contemporary style. With clean lines
and subtle warm tones, the residential towers will rise gracefully above the immediate
neighbourhood. The towers will feature a generous amount of windows and will be
connected at each level by a glassed-in walkway offering views over the landscaped
courtyard.
This abundance of glass, including sleek glass railings for the balconies and
terraces, will serve as a key architectural element for the project, complemented by
other noble materials such as metal and decorative masonry work. Landscaping will
also serve as an important ornamental element for the project; a courtyard garden will
be built upon the roof of the commercial podium.

- OK. Let’ s go!
28. - Wow! Nice design. Your home is special. It looks
very beautiful !
30. REFINED INTERIORS
The contemporary character of the project will extend to the interior where it
will exhibit a chic and refined ambiance. This elegant style will define the common
areas (hallways, lobby, and common rooms) as well as the private units.
The condos will feature an ergonomic design, kitchens with modern lines and
contemporary materials. The units will also have high ceilings of exposed concrete as
well as concrete columns, reflecting the raw, organic flair. Each unit will benefit from
generous windows allowing for an abundance of natural light. All units will also feature
a private outdoor space; a balcony or a private terrace
Building materials
are used in two basic ways. In
the first way they are used to
support the loads on a building
and in the second way they are
used to divide the space in a
building.
- They used beige to
paint the wall.
- Why don’t they use
….pink ??? It’ s really
a beautiful color.
31. - Pink’ s really a beautiful color.
- I don’t think so. Pink’ s an awful color which makes the wall become hotter and
makes residents more tired. Mostly, It’ s a color for girls.
- Nice joke. Hey ! What do you want? - I am just kidding…
36. - Unbelievable ! We are standing on a space which is between of two towers.
What a good view !
- Yes ! This is the most distinctive of the Architect’ s design, the Sky bridge.
- How… how can they build it ?
- Tee hee ! They built it by their confidence. Do you know Sky bridge in
Petronas Twin Towers ? This sky bride is similar with it in some features.
37. PLAN OF TYPICAL 24th FLOOR
(1st floor of Penthouses)
PLAN OF TYPICAL 25th FLOOR
(2nd floor of Penthouses)
- Is that all today?
- No, there are four penthouses
above.
<Ring ring>…..
39. A penthouse is an apartment on the highest floor
of an apartment building. Penthouses are typically
differentiated from other apartments by luxury features. The
term penthouse originally referred to, and sometimes still
does refer to, a separate smaller "house" that was
constructed on the roof of an apartment building.
Penthouse apartments have not only the
advantages of a regular apartment such as security and
convenient location but also all those of a house such as
size and design.
Similar to apartments, penthouses are usually
located in the heart of busy cities yet offer a sense of being
situated far away from or above noisy and crowded urban
life. Such locations provide easy access to hotels,
restaurants, malls, and schools. Overcoming the issue of
small space in regular apartments, penthouses are usually
large.
40. - The core of the tower is here. As you can see, they
are common areas. There are stairs,
elevators…etc… (I don’t know more, so etc :v )
- The stairs we'll be used in case accident occur.
- Never use elevators in a fire! Use the stairs. Close
all doors behind you to slow fire spread.

42. CONCLUSION
Now, just to summarize, let’s quickly look at the main points again.
A condominium is a type of hybrid ownership in real property under which an
individual owns a particular unit in a multi-unit development where all unit owners share
an undivided interest as tenants in common in the common areas such as hallways,
lobbies and community facilities. The benefits of condominium ownership include
desirable amenities, reduced maintenance responsibilities and a strong sense of
community. Because of the recent credit and economic crisis, it can be challenging to
secure financing for a condominium unit.
SKY HIGH LIVING
The end.
